HOCKEY PLAYERS


The Cockiest, Dirtiest, Most Irresponsible Group Of Athletes In The World.
Will Do Anything Just To Be Able To Tell His Teammates A Great Story In The Dressing Room.
Live The Dream Until They Are 35 Then Realize, They Never Made It. Ladies Love Us, Guys
Want To Be Us, We Are The Soul Of The Universe. You Lace Up The Skates, Put On The
Gloves, Strap on The Helmet, And Walk On To The Ice And Nothing Else Matters.
It Doesn't Matter That You Failed A Test, Your Girl Is Being A Bitch,
Or That You Got A Ticket On The Way There... You're World Is
Absolutely Perfect For The Next Couple Hours.
Here's To Faceoffs, Goals, Assists, Overtime, GWG's, Living On The Road, Cold Rinks,
Early Mornings, Break Aways, Going Top Cheese, Countless Hours Of
Practice, Bag Skates, Puking, Thousands Of Dollars, Dangling D-Men, End To End Rushes,
Big Hits, Broken Twigs, New Kicks, Packing Bombs, Dropping The Mits, Hockey Hair,
Wheelin' Broads, Rookie Parties, Coaches Adding The Letter "Y" To The End Of Everyone's Last Name,
The Word "Fuck", Pick Up, Packing A Dip, Under Aged Drinking, Tape To Tape Sauce, Let Downs,
Miracles And Most Of All - The Game Of Hockey.
Why?
Why Do We Skate Back And Forth Night After Night? Skating So Hard We Throw Up.
Skating So Hard Your Heart Beat Rings In Your Head, While Your Lungs Are Grasping For Air.
Late Nights, Early Mornings, Friday Nights, Saturday Evenings, Broken Bones,
Torn Muscles And Deep Bruises. We Skate Through It All. Because We Live Off Our
Adrenaline, Because The Game Frees Your Spirit, Because The Party In The Locker Room Is
Second To None, Because You're Invincible Once You Step On The Ice,
Because One Shot Can Make You Smile All Night. Sniping The Twine, Backy Shelf, Bar And In,
The Rattling Of The Boards, The Feel Of The Puck, And Skates Carving Into The Ice Is A Rhythm To Live
By, Because It's Possible To Skate Fast Enough To Leave All Your Worries Behind.
Sweat Is The Cologne Of Our Accomplishment. Why? Why Would Someone Push Themselves
So Hard The Uneducated Pussies Always Ask? AAA, Jr. B, Jr. A, CHL, US College, Pro....
It's For The Fucking Money. It's For The Girls, And It's For The Fame.
We Play Because We Fucking Love The Game!!






For anyone who appreciates takin' it down the boards, only to dangle past the D with a nasty toe drag before takin' it to the crease, then burrying it top shelf... or droppin' the gloves to tangle with your best freind, in defense of a goalie who you've never met before.... or if you've had to turn down a beautiful girl cause simply put-" it was hockey season".... you play for a 1 and 20 team, but still get up before the sun just to play.... or maybe u have driven hundreds of miles to have your picture taken with the greatest trophy, of the greatest game on earth..... yea, we may not be the smartest kids... yea, we may be alcoholics by default.... we may dip like there's no tomorrow and may have dental issues... but our sport is better than yours, plain and simple, its like that....
Oh....and we bang nothing but fuckin smokin broads!



''Our lives are gongers, don't try and change us. We are dirty proud
men who stick by our boys first, we don't rat. We will do nasty shit
just to tell the story in the room. That is our lives. We are kings to
men, and God's to you''

"The Wing-Man"
A close relative of the team player, the Wing Man is one of the boys you go out to wheel with at the bar. This wing man supports any bull shit stories you make up, and makes you look like gold in front of the broad's. In return you are expected to do the same for your winger. A good combo can result in both of you having a good time.

"Jets"
The art of picking up. The night will start out with many of the boys trying to wheel broads but only a small percent of hockey boys have a special gift--Throwing the Jets on is the art of taking things to the next level, with these jets on your are golden. As you are leaving you must throw the "After Burner"s on. (See below)

"After Burners"
This is when you have picked up and are at the awkward stage outside the bar of trying to get them back to your place or vice-versa. This is when you must throw your After Burners on. It takes a true playa to have the spark to this, and many rookie moves must be avoided. For example, going to eat after the bar is the worst thing you could ever do. This will sober you both up and let them start to think about whether they wanna continue the night anymore. Always go straight back, food can wait.

"Rookie Move"
This is the unfortunate act of the one guy on the team who makes stupid comments that ruins your chances of getting action. But this dumb creature is not a Cock-blocker, as they do not know they are screwing your universe up. They are just meat-heads. Rookie moves should be punished severely.

"Meat-Head"
This is the guy on the team that is by far the stupidest of any of the boys. Meat-heads are either well liked or hated, there's no in between for these lads. Meat-heads can say funny shit in the room at times, and are always good to laugh at. Meat-heads are the guys that mess up the Flow Drill for the second time in a row after the coach stopped and yelled at everyone the first time. Meat-heads have a love-hate relationship with most boys on the team. Dumb creature, should not be allowed to reproduce ever.

"Duster"
This term refers to those unfortunate souls who usually only step on the ice with 14 seconds to go when your team was initially down 4-2 but gave up an empty netter to make it 5-2. The coach finally calls the "dusters" number and does so in a way that the duster feels like he is finally getting an opportunity to showcase the talent he doesn't really possess. Why the term duster? Cause this plug has been sitting on the bench the entire game... Collecting dust. Always the worst player on team.
